Sir Alex Ferguson has indicated that Manchester United are likely to return to South Africa in the near future.

The club have a huge following in the country and the supporters were left
satisfied as well at seeing the team lift the Vodacom Challenge trophy.

Substitutes Tom Cleverley and Fraizer Campbell joined established stars like
Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney on the scoresheet in the 4-0 defeat of Kaizer
Chiefs.

Two years earlier United had lost to the Chiefs in a penalty shoot-out - but
they were much too strong for the opposition this time, especially in the second
half.

United spent a week in South Africa and Ferguson can already see a third visit
after his side played in Cape Town, Durban and finally Pretoria.

He said: 'There has been dialogue and one suggestion was about us coming back
after the 2010 World Cup. But I do not know if that would work. That might be too early after the World
Cup.

'I think once the World Cup is over people will probably need a rest from
football.

'There are going to be a lot of people in the country at that time. But there
will be another opportunity, I am sure.'

United also held a number of off-field initiatives during their stay and
Ferguson believes they have much to be proud of.

He said: 'We do random checks on how many fans we have throughout the world. There are estimates of 15 million fans in South Africa, although you are
never quite sure of the figures.

'I think we saw during the games there are lot of Manchester United supporters
in South Africa and that is very encouraging.

'We are delighted with our contribution in coming here to see the
supporters.'

Giggs opened the scoring in the final five minutes before half time following a
cross from Lee Martin.

That opened the floodgates and Rooney capped an industrious performance by
extending their lead.

Then midfielder Cleverley marked his senior debut at 18 with a cool finish
following a knock-down from Rooney and Campbell sealed an emphatic victory with
the fourth goal.

Cleverley, who only arrived in South Africa on Thursday along with fellow
teenagers Craig Cathcart and Rodrigo Possebon, savoured the moment.

He said: 'It was an unbelievable day, especially as Paul Scholes came on to
play alongside me. I'm pretty speechless. I got the call on Tuesday to say I'd be coming out to
South Africa so it's all happened very quickly.

'I came on and did quite well and got a goal - I feel very proud.'

Ferguson was delighted with the way the youngsters responded in front of a big,
passionate crowd at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

He said he intends to send Northern Ireland defender Cathcart out on loan but
Possebon will stay with the first team squad.

Ferguson added: 'They are all at a good age in terms of us judging them and
most have been out on loan. Jonny Evans had a good spell at Sunderland and was instrumental in them
staying up. Frazier Campbell was instrumental in bringing Hull up.

'Lee Martin was unfortunate with injuries but he showed what he can do by
setting up first goal. He has potential.

'Craig Cathcart is looking much stronger after injury and the intention is to
put him on loan this season.

'Possebon will stay as he has potential for first team football while
Cleverley is just a young lad and has time on his side. All the young players
have good potential.'
